513: The Automatic Home with Roger Lipp
Part 1
Have you ever dreamed for an automated house like the Jetsons had? While Rosey may not be moving in, Kathi and Roger Lipp are here to help walk us through setting up a home that works for us and not against us. The keys to an automated home is in the decisions and the planning. There are so many ways to automate our home. Join in the conversation to hear about some of the key automations that serve Kathi and Roger well and how to:
- Think through the automations you need
- Set your home up to make things smoother
- Maintain the automations once they’re in place
Tell us – what automations serve you well in your home? Let us know in the comments below!
The Clutter Free Home: Making Room for Your Life
When it comes to your home, peace is possible…
Longing for a place of peace from which you can love others well? The Clutter-Free Home is your room-by-room guide to decluttering, reclaiming, and celebrating every space of your home.
Let author Kathi Lipp (who once lived a life buried in clutter) walk you through each room of your house to create organizational zones that are not only functional and practical but create places of peace that reflect your personality. Kathi will help you tackle the four-step process of dedicate, decide, declutter and “do-your-thing” to reveal the home you’ve always dreamed of, and then transform it into a haven that reflects who you truly are meant to be.
